York United will go through another rebrand today, changing its name to Inter Toronto FC. The club, originally launched as York9 FC, rebranded to York United after just two seasons and will now change its look and name once more as it enters its eighth season. #CanPL

Torrential downpour and seconds later, Quinn collides with Okoronkwo at midfield; they're straight down the tunnel and Heiner-Møller immediately calls on Nicole Stanton.
